@AndrewPKlager Not escape then, but arrival. Moriarty: "The Second Coming is but a better understanding of the First Coming...It is an apocalypse of mind and eye we need, an apocalypse that opens the veils of mind and eye, not an apocalypse that pulls down the stars, that obliterates the sea.”

Copy of tweet & quote tweet: “But how self-exiled we nowadays are from all great gates, great openings into other worlds, great openings into this world. Nierikas, the Hoichol indians call them. The sacred, great and dangerous earth regained might yet turn out to be Paradise Regained.” - John Moriarty Image: much text, most not included: …it is precisely the dynamic communion of path and peace that deep gardeners restore in an act of Reconciliation which heals the fracture ‘between’ interior and exterior landscapes, in the natural sequence of a concrete journey into Beauty’s deepest ground, Paradise-regained and, as N.O. Brown portrays it, ‘the return of the gods.’ Quote Tweet 9/ So long in exile from true unity with Ourselves, each Other, and Creation, we now return to an intimacy with the Ground of life fully lived, restoring the foreground we call history with its regenerative power, and the imaginal backdrop gifting our lives instructive meaning.

Quoted by@RichardRohrOFM: "This is a differently-shaped universe than many of us thought.” John Moriarty: “Could it be that even now our universe is in a cocoon it has spun for itself, is undergoing complete metamorphosis and will soon emerge as something unpredictably different?”
